SME + LP12, it can be done

Nah, I LOVE SME's except for one thing - the cachet prices they charge for everything these days. thank heavens for the Jelco 750 :lol:
Hi DaveO old mate, sorry my reply is coming in a couple of days late but I move slowly nowadays at about 33.3 rpm and slowing down as opposed to 45rpm in my 'yoooof' :rolleyes: Yes, I well remember that marriage of an LP12 plus SME and Kesiki, it was for that man who regularly did the Beford to Brighton run stopping off in London for a shopping bag of Jazz CDs, man was I envious. The SME mounted on a Linn LP12 was not an easy job, and you still bare the grooves on your forehead :) from fiddle arseing around with suspension springs, bounce etc. At the time, the 80s, it was blaspheme akin to having a woman cardinal at the Vatican! One thing the SME does have is Leica type build which all in our circle greatly admired and lusted after. But not all are of the persuasion and Marco doesn't like the SME with tomato ketchup, ermm, that could be SPUDS :scratch:
Before I aimlessly meander off and demagnatise myself with a Furetech bristle or three, I think we have drifted off course here and should get back into giving Chris P support and encourage persistence with his Tekko, faint heart never won etc.;)
Tooroo for now
Jazz, identifiable as Ron :piano:
